1/2 Cent    (sold for $300000.0)

1793 C-3 R3. PCGS graded MS-64+ Brown. CAC Approved. Choice lustrous bluish steel brown with 10% of the mellowed mint red remaining on the reverse. Frosty and virtually flawless except for a very fine horizontal planchet fissure through the bottoms of the 79 ending at the dentils just left of the date (as struck). The central reverse is covered with fine die rust, as usual on this variety. Sharply struck and nicely centered on the planchet. The edge lettering is blundered reading "TWO HUNIRED FOR A DOLLAR". Plated on page 76 in the Breen encyclopedia to illustrate his die state III. Fabulous eye appeal for a 1793 half cent. Our grade is MS63+. Weight 101.8 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer of the variety in 65BN (the preceding coin) (PCGS # 35009) . Estimated Value $175,000-UP.
